1. (B) 10. 1
2. (CAR (QUOTE A)) 11. T
3. (A B) 12. A
4. undefined: eq is 13. undefined: eq again
defined only on 14. false: computation on
atoms. y may be undefined
5. (A B C) 15. true
6. (A()) 16. eq is partial
7. (A B C) 17.T
8. (A B C 1 2 3)
9. undefined: A not list.
18. an evaluation scheme in which the arguments to a function call are to be evaluated
before being applied to the function.
19. the process of translating constructs (P1) in one language into constructs (P2) in
another language such that the execution of P1 and the execution of P2 produce the same
value (under appropriate interpretation). e.g. eval [P1] ≡ execute[P2], where P2 =
compile[P1], and ≡ involves interpreting the final state of eval and execute.
20. Given an atom(symbol , identifier, ...) the hashing function will tell which partition
of the symbol table we should examine to locate that atom. Hashing is a fast, efficient
way to search and store in symbol tables. The hashing function should be fast and should
result in an even distribution between the partitions (or buckets). When two atoms hash to
the same bucket, this is called collision. Collisions can be resolved by hashing again
(with a different scheme obviously), linear search, etc...
21. stack is a data structure: an object with constructors, selectors, recoginzers,.. Its
characteristics are such that we may only access the last element placed in the stack.
Typical implementation is ... . Typical application is to support recursion. The name has
been much misused; things which aren't really stacks, like spaghetti stacks have taken
over the name.
22.the access environment refers to the chain of symbol tables which are accessible during
the evaluation of an expression. variable lookup procedes from the local table, up the
access chain.
23. a binary tree is a graph structure such that at any node there are either two
branches(leading away) or no branches( terminal nodes). To be a tree, we require no
intersections in the graph.
24. a function is total over a specified domain, when it is defined for every element of
that domain. Thus over the domain of s-expressions, atom is total, but eq is not.
25. a property list is a symbol-table entry in LISP. It is a list of attributes and values
associated with each atom.
26. The sweep-phase goes (linearly) through memory, collecting all the unmarked cells and
builds a new available space list.
27. The mark-phase traverses all the active list-structure, marking each cell which it
visits.
28.-33. deep, linear, control, shallow, VALUE, uniquely
34.-39. constructors, selectors, recognizers, λ-calculus, recursive, termination
condition.
40.-47. full word space, free space, dotted pairs, (singly)linked-lists, pointer, cons,
free space list, garbage collector.
48.-50. interpreter, Threetran, bootstrapping.
